The annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Orlando, FL, USA, October 22-25, 2011, will be the best opportunity to learn more about the two innovative products, THIN-CTM and heavySIL 1500, launched onto the market by AL.CHI.MI.A, this year.
THIN-CTM is an innovative corneal deswelling agent, which is ideal to prepare ultra-thin lenticule for DSAEK, Eye Bank pre-cut tissues for DSAEK and anterior lamellae for DALK. Corneal incubation in THIN-CTM reduces corneal thickness, makes the residual posterior stroma smother, and increases tissue stiffness to facilitate lenticule manipulation during surgery.
heavySIL 1500 is a new heavier than water endotamponade, which has proven effective in the management of complicated retinal detachment with minimum postoperative complications.
Both products were extensively investigated by research studies and in clinical settings. Below is a list of main references:
